“GE’s Global Research team announced an EV breakthrough today that can open the door to widespread adoption of electrification for heavy haulers like buses, delivery trucks and other big transports — a sector that has long been slow to embrace EVs due to high battery costs and large battery size. The hybrid systems research team successfully demonstrated a dual battery system on a zero tailpipe emissions hybrid transit bus. The technology — which has the potential to cut battery costs by 20 percent — pairs a sodium battery with a lithium battery — essentially combining the pick-up that today’s passenger EVs have with the power storage that big industrial batteries offer” Read more at http://www.gereports.com/dual-battery-breakthrough-eyes-electric-bus-truck-fleets/
